Author’s notes: This fic started with awesomepants87 asking for “Something domestic… and Dean and Cas have a kid.” I had every intention of writing a short, simple fic, but my brain was apparently on overdrive that night, because what developed was a strange meshing of the domestic and apocalyptic, and the simple prompt developed into this big bang. Months later, you guys have the result of that little request. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed working on it :o)
Thanks: First and foremost, I owe a ginormous thank you to awesomepants87 . She beta’d this monster, and without her this would not have come together. She kept me on track and provided new perspectives and insights when my brain refused to think anymore. I seriously can’t thank her enough. An additional thanks goes to her for making chapter banners for this fic.
And, of course, a huge thank you goes to chosenfire28 for doing the art. The poster and banner she made are simply fabulous, and I couldn’t have asked for more.
A big thank you also goes to my flist. You guys are awesome! Your encouragement and cheerleading kept me plugging away, and your excitement kept mine up when I thought it had run out. So thanks, guys!
Notes on the Enochian: I found three sites extremely helpful while translating the Enochian in this piece. This site was fabulous for everything Enochian, and the other two can be found here and here.
